It feels like it's taken the same amount of time to get BioShock to the screen as it does to create an underwater city. The history of adapting the beloved first-person shooter stretches back to 2008, only a year after the original game was released, when Gore Verbinski was attached to direct. Flash forward to 2025 (hey, that's us), and now director Francis Lawrence, who has been appointed to the proceedings by Netflix in 2022, has given a new update on who has been tasked with penning the latest effort to send us to this world of Big Daddies and Little Sisters.
In an interview with IGN, The Long Walk director confirmed that Justin Rhodes is the latest to jot up a live-action version of the story. Rhodes wrote Terminator: Dark Fate and contributed to the CGI anthology series, Secret Level on Prime Video. “I just actually just got a draft. We have a meeting with the writer tomorrow [May 7th], so that's definitely a very strong possibility as well,” Lawrence said.
